Last year, J-List began offering a custom order service, giving customers a way to request items from Japan that weren’t listed on our website. The response was overwhelming, and we’ve shipped hundreds of special orders to our customers around the world. Now, we’re officially launching Megumi Express [site link], J-List’s dedicated proxy buying service. Do you want something from Japan? We’ll help you get it! See below for all the details.
J-List has big news: we’re launching Megumi Express, a new proxy buying service from J-List. Now you can order anything from Japan, even if it’s not in stock on our site. Our Japanese staff will handle all the details, and get your order out to you fast. Read more about Megumi Express on the official site!
Megumi Express Is the Proxy Buying Service from J-List
When J-List launched the first Japan-based anime and ecchi shop for international fans back in 1996, it was a completely different world. The internet had opened a window into Japan, allowing fans to connect with the country’s popular culture in amazing new ways. The result? A huge surge in Japan’s Gross National Cool, and a global explosion of anime, manga, and otaku culture around the world.
Through it all, J-List was Your Friend in Japan®, delivering Domo-kun plush toys, naughty doujinshi, and all kinds of fun products to our customers around the world. Now, we’re introducing Megumi Express, your personal proxy-buying service from J-List. Now you can buy anything from Japan, regardless of whether we have it in stock on the J-List or JBOX.com websites.
Our new service offers many benefits. Here’s why you’ll love it!:
- Fast and reliable shipping from J-List, a company that’s been passionate about Japan for 28 years.
- Transparent pricing, with no surprise fees. Just open a ticket to our staff with a photo and/or the URL of the item you want to buy, and we’ll give you a price within a few hours.
- Free storage for up to six months! We’ll be happy to hold items for you and ship them together when they come in.
- Your “Friend in Japan” is now your personal proxy buyer!
What Can You Order from Megumi Express?
Pretty much anything! Let’s look at some of the things J-List customers have purchased through Megumi Express already!


Order Limited Otaku Products from Shops in Japan
There are lots of limited toy items that can only be purchased from certain official shops in Japan, which don’t ship internationally. If you don’t have an address inside Japan, you’re out of luck. But with Megumi Express, you can buy any fun item you want. Just give the details to our staff and we’ll set you up!


Order Rare Toys from Shops in Japan
Don’t you hate finding some amazing toys from a shop online, only to see that they don’t ship outside of Japan? Megumi Express will be happy to get these items for you. Preorders are fine, too!


You Can Custom Order Sexy Photobooks with Megumi Express!
J-List customers are loving the sexy cosplay photobooks from HaneAme we’ve been adding to the J-List site recently. But some of them are out of print, making them hard to find. But Megumi Express is happy to search through used shops on your behalf!


Music CDs, Japan-Release Boxed Sets, and More!

Special Order JAV Products Through Megumi Express
Are you a fan of a JAV actress who’s retired now, but you want to collect her photobooks or DVDs?

Megumi Express Can Get Rare Otaku Products for You
